Well, he's still a bit bummed that he has to wait a couple more days to start kindy -

but he was much more pleased to let her go this year...

Damn shadows from the early morning light! GRRR!

There she goes... ::sigh::

********************

This year, things are going to be different for our girl...

Like, she has REAL textbooks...and workbooks.

I may have gotten a bit teary eyed seeing these on her desk at our open house night!

Her own desk with her own stuff inside...

(These pics are from open house - her bus was too late for me to get her first day of school pics at her desk! GAH! Why does that ALWAYS seem to happen!!)

Her and her Bestie are sitting directly behind/in front of each other ~

We'll see how this goes...

********************************

Her bus was late getting her to school, where yes, I was waiting!

HA!

I got her photo coming down the hall to head to her classroom....

SO SO excited to be a first grader.

BFF's

It really does get late so soon...

I love how each stage of life brings such amazing new adventures. I miss the cuddly newborn stage, the language development stage, the wonderment of all that is new in this big big world - but this age presents it's own unique and amazing things too.

Seeing the world through the eyes of a young lady, who is just shy of her 7th birthday......
A little girl that has gone from being a quiet, shy, reserved...and even somewhat anxious in many situations....little thing, to a girl who has grown her wings and taken off flying over this last 12 months.
